BF: I've just gotten the new Vuescan to recognize the scanner and am
looking forward to trying this.

BF: I think that it will turn out to be a good thing for making
moderate quality batch scans, but I'm finding that to get the most
out of my images I have to hand tune the settings for each image, and
in this type of workflow the motorized filmstrip adapter makes me
angry when I use it. Part of this has to do with the stupid and
inconvenient way the software handles the making of thumbnail
previews, part of this has to do with the stupid and clunky way it
handles adjusting the framing, part of this has to do with the stupid
and time-consuming way it wants to throw out the thumbnails and
recreate them after every scan, and dang it-- part of this has to do
with the hardware not having an eject button! To put it bluntly I
FEEL like the software and hardware were specially designed to balk
me at every turn X-(. It makes me mad.
